(A) PREFACE

Madhab Choudhury College, an old and prominent institution of higher education in the lower Assam region, is situated at a small town named Barpeta in the district of Barpeta, Assam. It was established in the year 1939, when the entire country stood against the British colonialism in India. On the 14 th of July that year, the erstwhile Chief Minister (then called Prime Minister) of Assam ‘Lokapriya’ Gopinath Bordoloi inaugurated this college, and thus, the fourth college of the undivided Assam took shape in this semi-urban locality. Since then, Madhab Choudhury College has passed a long span of 75 years, and it is now preparing for celebration of Platinum Jubilee in the year 2014. In this long span, the college has undergone many phases of change towards betterment. Quality always being the topmost priority of this college, Madhab Choudhury College went for assessment and accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, and it was awarded ‘B’ Grade by the N.A.A.C. on 8 January, 2004. For some unavoidable circumstances, the college could not go for the Cycle 2 of the assessment and accreditation by the N.A.A.C. in due time. But Madhab Choudhury College does not want to make any compromise in the matters of quality enhancement, and therefore, it has readied itself for the Cycle 2 of assessment and accreditation by the N.A.A.C. after the lapse of a few years. From now onwards, the college will maintain the continuity in respect of assessment and accreditation by the N.A.A.C. The Self Study Report submitted herewith is expected to reflect the total present status of the college, showing how the college has tried to cope with the changing scenario in the higher education sector of the country despite many constraints.

(B) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Madhab Choudhury College, Barpeta was established at a time when there was a dearth of institutions for higher education in the entire Assam. Before inception of this college, there were only three colleges in this state, and in the broad lower Assam region, there was only one college. So, Madhab Choudhury College was the reflection of an earnest desire of some visionaries to spread higher education in a large socially and economically backward area of Assam. Secondly, the people who were behind the establishment of this college were all closely linked with the countrywide movement against the British colonialism in India, and they regarded dissemination of higher education as an integral part of the process of building an independent and strong nation. So, Madhab Choudhury College, Barpeta was the outcome of a strong patriotic zeal. Thus, at the time of inception, spreading higher education among people of a disadvantaged region, particularly the economically backward people, having been deprived of it for a long time, was the only aim and objective of this college. But after passing a long period of 75 years, when higher education has become much more accessible to people than it was 75 years back, the college cannot confine itself to merely providing scope for higher education of traditional nature to people of this locality. It has to cope with the tremendous developments in the higher education sector in the country, and the college has prepared itself for the changing scenario of higher education at present. But situated at a disadvantaged locality, the college also has to face many difficulties in undergoing the process of development. Still, the college has readied itself to go forward along with the institutions of other regions of the country, while at the same time catering to the regional needs.

SWOC Analysis : Strengths:  Presence of basic infrastructure for upgradation to model college level  Presence of sizable number of departments with qualified faculties for the study of the modern areas of humanity and basic sciences.  Presence of both central and departmental libraries with large collection of books.  Situated in the district head quarter with good accessibility to communication and civic facilities  Situated in a good catchment area.

 Experience of 75 years of undergraduate education.  Large base of well placed alumni.  Adequate laboratory infrastructure that can run not only UG but also PG programmes.  Active cells of NCC and NSS cadres for all round development of students.  Active participation of stakeholders in institutional development activities.  Robust examination and evaluation system.  Dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff.

Weaknesses:  Absence of post graduate courses.  Old and out of date class rooms.  Lack of modern, technologically up to date teaching aids.  Poor financial background of the students.  Lack of scope of institutional resource generation.  High student-teacher ratio.  Afflicted by the presence of +2 level of education.  Absence of residential facility for teachers.  Absence of proper well maintained residential facilities for the students.  Lack of authority in designing syllabus and curriculum.  Inability to provide employment opportunity through placement cell.  Absence of any scientific waste disposal system.  Irregularity of power supply.  Lack of professional courses.

Opportunities: 1. Scope of upgradation from existing level to model college level. 2. Presence of a large aspiring student pool in the catchment area. 3. Having a large land-base in the midst of the town. 4. Situated in a place with rich cultural background. 5. Enhanced interaction of the society with the college.

4

Constraints:  Presence of open universities offering the same degrees.  Privatization of higher education.  Exodus of students from courses of basic sciences and humanities to technical institutions and management schools.  Interference by student bodies in the academic and administrative affairs of the college.  Constantly changing educational scenario of Assam.

Institutional Vision :

To improve the existing academic and infrastructural level of the college to a stage from where it can vie for Model College status.

Inthelastfouryears,thecollegeintroducedinnovativepracticeslikeofferingfees relieftotheeconomicallybackwardmeritoriousstudentsatthetimeofadmission, reservationofseatstoN.C.C.AandBcertificateholders,fieldstudiesandacademic tours by students. They have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

7.3 Best Practices 7.3.1 Elaborateonanytwobestpractices as per the annexed format (see page .. ) which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/orcontributedtotheQualityimprovementofthe core activities of the college.

Practice I

1. Title of the Practice TRANSPARENT ADMISSION POLICY

2. Goal Everyyearthe collegereceivesalotofapplicantswhoseekadmissiontovarious programmes that the college runs. It is not always possible for the college to accepteachandeverycandidatewhoseeksadmissiontothecollege,becausein mostofthecasesthenumberofapplicantsismuchhigherthanthenumberof seatsavailable.So,therecomestheneedofselectionofcandidatesforvarious programmes. That is why, the college has been following a clearly defined admission policy and maintaining transparency in this regard, so that there cannotbeanydisputeregardingadmissionandthebestpossiblecandidatescan beaccommodated.

3. The Context Inadoptinganadmissionpolicy,thecollegehastokeepinmindthesethings: (a) In most cases, the number of candidates seeking admission to various programmes is much higher than the number of seats available in that programme.(b)Thecollegeissituatedatalocality,wherediversecommunities and groups of people reside, and the candidates who apply for seats in this college represent this diversity. (c) A large number of candidates come from

101

economicallybackwardclasses.(d)Mostofthecandidatesbelongtothelocality wherethecollegeissituated,andtherefore,thereisaconstantpressureofthe localpeopleonthecollegematters.(e)Themainobjectiveofthecollegeisto encourage quality education, and the college does not want to make any compromiseinthisregard.Keepingallthesethingsinview,thecollegehasbeen followingatransparentadmissionpolicyforsomanyyears. 4. The Practice Theadmissionpolicyofthecollegeisclearlystatedintheprospectus.Meritis theonlybasisofadmissiontothiscollege.Ofcourse,therearereservationsof seatsforScheduledCastes,ScheduledTribes(Hill),ScheduledTribes(Plain)and Other Backward Castes as per the State Policy and constitutional provisions. CertainseatsarealsoreservedforPhysicallyHandicappedcandidatesasperthe Govt.rulesandregulations.Besidesallthese,thecollege,ofitsown,reservesa few seats for candidates showing excellence in sports and cultural activities (State/Nationallevel)andalsoforcandidateshaving‘A’and‘B’certificatesof the N.C.C. Even in the reserved categories mentioned above, merit is the benchmark for selection of students. The college has the provision to give fee relaxationtomeritoriousstudentsbelongingtoeconomicallybackwardclasses from the Students’ Aid Fund. All these provisions are mentioned in the prospectuspublishedannuallyinclearterms.Thecollegeauthorityconstitutes an Admission Committee consisting of teachers, and this committee conducts theentireadmissionprocess.Beforetheadmission, the Admission Committee declaresthelistofselectedcandidatesinorderofmerit,categorywise,citingthe markstheysecureinthequalifyingexaminations.TheCommitteealsodeclares awaitinglistinorderofmerit,inwhichthemarkssecuredbythecandidatesin thequalifyingexaminationsarementionedproperly.Thus,thewholeprocessof admissionismadepublic. 5. Evidence of Success The transparency maintained in the Admission Policy has brought about tremendoussuccessinrespectofachievingthedesiredgoal.Firstly,thecollege has been getting good students because of thetransparency in the admission process.Secondly,thecollegehasbeenabletoavoidallkindsofcontroversies anddisputesasregardsadmission.Thirdly,thecollegehasbeenabletoavoid all kinds of pressure in matters of admission. Most importantly, this transparency in matters of admission has been appreciated highly by the students,theparents,andthesocietyasawhole. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required The major problems encountered in adopting a clearly defined, transparent Admission Policy in this college are these: (a) As the number of candidates seekingadmissionistoohigh,particularlyintheB.A.level,thecollegehasto facetremendouspressuretoaccommodatemorestudentsthanitcan.(b)Inthe HigherSecondary(Arts)level,alargenumberofstudentspassouteveryyear from this college, and they expect admission to Degree level in this college again.Theybecomeasourceofpressureforthecollege.Toincreasenumberof

102

seats, particularlyinthe B.A. level,thereisthe need of more classrooms and moreteachers.

7.

Practice II

1. Title of the Practice FIELD STUDY

2. Goal Themainaimofthispracticeistointroducethestudentstothepracticalaspects ofthesubjectstaught.Thishelpsthestudentstoacquaintthemselveswiththe objective world around them instead of keeping themselves confined in the informationstoredinthebooks.Atthesametime,ithelpsthemtoconnecttheir knowledge gathered through study of textbooks to the actual things. Though fieldstudyisnotatallpossibleinallthesubjects,ithasagreatimportancein certain subjects like environmental studies, anthropology, botany, zoology, history,geography,Assamese,economicsetc.Themaingoalofthefieldstudyis togivethestudentstheopportunityofthefirsthandknowledge.

3. The Context The practice of field study has several important features to address to. Firstly,atourcollege,thenumberofstudentsisquitehighsofarasarrangement offieldstudyisconcerned,anditisnotatallpossibletogivethesamestudents

opportunity of fieldstudy inmore than one subject. Subjectwisespeaking, in somesubjectsthenumberofstudentsishighagain,anditbecomesdifficultto arrange effective field study accommodating all the students of that subjects. Thirdly,fundisamajorconcernforthefieldstudy.Tillnow,thefieldstudies are being arranged with the fees from the students. But the money collected from the students is not at all sufficient for organizing a proper kind of field study.Fourthly,thefieldstudiesarecarriedoutinmanysubjectsaccordingto thecurriculadesignedbytheUniversity,andthereisnotmuchscopeforany innovationinthisregard.Butinsomesubjects,theconcerneddepartmentshave initiated field study outside the University syllabus, and in this respect, the concerned departments have designed their own frameworks for such outof curricula field studies, and are implementing them according to their own conveniences.

4. The Practice Inmanysubjects,educationaltoursorfieldstudiesarepartsofthesyllabi.In thesesubjects,fieldstudiesareorganizedaccordingtothecoursesdesignedby theUniversity.AsEnvironmentalStudiesisacompulsorysubjectinthescience andtheartsstreams,thenumberofstudentswhoaretobetakenforfieldstudy becomesquitelargeanditbecomesdifficultforallthestudentstogetdesired benefitfromthefieldstudyinthissubject.Insomeothersubjects,thenumberof students is not beyond control, as they are not compulsory subjects. The studentsaretakentoselectedplaces,wheretheycangettheopportunitytoget firsthandinformationaboutthethingstheylearnintheirbooks.

ThefieldstudiesinsubjectslikeAssamese,Economics,Historyarequitean innovativeidea,becauseinAssameseonlyinthefourthsemesteroftheMajor coursethereistheprovisionforfieldstudyinthesyllabus,whilefieldstudyis organized for the first semester students too. In the subjects History and Economicstoo,particularlymajorstudentsaretakentofieldstudyandsurvey worksnotcoveredinthesyllabiofthesesubjects.

In case of the Universitydetermined, syllabidirected field studies, the students are taken to some nearby or distant places, as the case may be, according to its importance in respect of the course. It may be a daylong programme (particularly in case of Environmental Studies) or a longer programme,accordingtothenecessity.IncaseofthefieldstudyofAssamese, the department takes students of major course to certain places, where the studentscangetacquaintedwiththeancientscriptspreserved.Forexample,the ancientscriptscarvedonstonesfoundinNorthGuwahatiandalsointheState Museum in Guwahati give the students an opportunity totakeinterestinthe studyofancientscripts.Incaseofhistory,thestudentsaretakentosomeplace ofhistoricalinterest,andmadetostudythehistoricalimportanceofthatplace. In Economics, students are taken to some place, where they can study the economicallyrelevantissuesinthelivesofthepeoplethere.Afterthefieldstudy thestudents have toprepare individual reportson thestudy,andithelpsthe studentstoacquireknowledgeaboutsystematicstudies.

5. Evidence of Success Thefieldstudieshavehelpedthestudentstoagreatextent.Ithasencouraged themtogodeeperintothesubject.Ithasalsoopenedupbeforethemsomeareas ofstudy,whichdon’thavemuchscopeofbeingexploredinthesyllabiofthe concerned subjects. Field studies have brought knowledge of the students outsidethepagesoftheirbooks,andhelpedthemtohaveawiderperspectiveof the subjects. For example, the students of Assamese in major course have to studyaboutancient scripts.It isbecause oftheir exposure to the real ancient scriptsengravedonstonesintheancienttime,theyhavegotwiderideasabout ancient scripts. The reports that the students have submitted after the field studieshaveshownthattherehasbeenapositiveimpactofthefieldstudieson thestudents.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required The main problem in organizing field studies is the number of students. ThoughthesyllabiofGauhatiUniversityhavemadeprovisionsforfieldstudy in some particular subjects only, there should have been provisions for field studyforalltheundergraduatestudents,ifnotasapartofthecurricula,thenas apartofthecocurricularactivities.Thecollegethinksthatitwouldhavehelped the students in widening the horizon of their knowledge and perception. But withanumberofstudentsnearing1300,itisdifficulttoorganizefieldstudies forallthestudentsonthecollege’sownaccord.Thesecondproblemisfinance. Thecollegehastodependonthefeescollectedfromthestudentstoorganizea field study. But the fund generated through the fees of the students is not sufficienttohaveafieldstudyinpropersense.

7. Notes (Optional) The college believes in giving the students wider opportunities for learning, and learningcannotbeconfinedonlyintheclassrooms.Thatisthereasonwhythereisso much emphasis on field study. It is also expected that the field studies will help establishingacloseconnectionbetweenthestudentsandthesociety.

Post-accreditation Initiatives

Madhab Choudhury College, Barpeta underwent assessment and accreditation by

National Assessment and Accreditation Council (N.A.A.C.) in the year 2003, and it secured

B grade. So, before it had completed five years of assessment and accreditation, it should have initiated the process of the Cycle 2 of assessment and accreditation by the N.A.A.C. But unfortunately, for some inevitable and adverse circumstances that cropped up at the administrative level of the college, that marred the scope for the college’s rising up for the next phase of assessment and accreditation, it was not possible for the college to go for the

Cycle 2 of assessment and accreditation. Consequently, the college failed in delivering the post accreditation activities required in case of an accreditated institution, like sending of

AQARs timely.

But despite the fact that the college failed to go for the next phase of assessment and accreditation in due time, the college has not stopped initiation of the process of growing. It is significant that the college has tried to fulfil almost all the recommendations of the N.A.A.C. peer team in the previous process of assessment and accreditation. The college, in the post accreditation period, has done a lot for enhancement of its quality and has cultivated the ground for the future development of the college. Situated at a disadvantaged locality, the college has always to fight against odds to make it a better institution, but still, it shows a tendency towards both vertical and horizontal growths.

In the last few years, there has been a significant development of the college in the areas of infrastructure, curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular facilities to the students, academic atmosphere etc. So far as infrastructure is concerned, in the post accreditation period the college has taken some remarkable steps. The college canteen was shifted to a new, spacious building, and it can now fulfill the need of all the students, teachers and other employees. Facilities for pure drinking water have been provided to the students and others.

A Multi-Gym was established, and in both the Multi-Gym and the already existing Iron-Gym, the number of beneficiaries has increased at a tremendous pace.

In the field of Information Technology, the college has shown significant progress. Free access to internet has been provided to the students at the Central Library named Kameswar

Das Library. Computerization is there in most of the Library activities and also in the activities relating to examinations, besides in most of the office activities. Each department has been given a computer of its own, and even departmental activities are done with computer. Apart from the central library, internet facilities are there in the Computer Science

Dept., Principal’s chamber, college office and the IQAC office.

The college auditorium is now complete and fully fledged. A new seminar cum conference hall is under construction, and within a few days, it is going to be complete. The college also proposes to build a digital class room, a digital library, a guest room and a language laboratory. The number of class rooms has been increased, and the decades-old buildings have been renovated to a great extent. The college has provided the students with a

Students’ Day Home. A Girls’ Hostel was established, and now both the Boys’ Hostel and the Girls’ Hostel have been made fully fledged and furnished with all the required facilities.

They can accommodate around 60 students each. A Yoga Centre has been established to facilitate the students, the teachers and the non-teaching staff, and there is a plan to furnish it in a better way, provided the required amenities are met with.

In the post accreditation period, the college has introduced several new courses. The

B.C.A., and the P.G.D.C.A. courses are going on, besides the subject Computer Science in the B.Sc. level. The Computer Science department has been running some courses of the distance learning mode, such as B.Sc. (IT), M.Sc. (IT), B.C.A., P.G.D.C.A. and M.C.A. under the Institute of Distance and Open Learning, Gauhati University. Some other new courses, such as Agro-technology, Geographical Information System, Geographical

188

Positioning System and Remote-Sensing are going on in this college The college also serves as a contact centre of the Institute of Distance and Open Learning, Gauhati University and a study centre of Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University. The college is yet to introduce courses like Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication, Bachelor of

Tourism and Travel Management, Fisheries, Microbiology, Electronics, Geology and B.Com. because of the paucity of fund and required infrastructure and other facilities. Opening of professional P.G. courses in some departments has also faced the same problems. But the college includes them in the future plan for further growth of the college. The process of introducing the Bachelor of Business Administration is going on. It is also a problem for the college that some of the courses mentioned above are run in distance education mode by the

Institute of Distance and Open Learning, Gauhati University and Krishna Kanta Handique

State Open University, Guwahati and in these courses, the distance mode appears to be more popular than the traditional mode.

In the last few years, a research culture has grown in the college, with constitution of a

Research Committee. In the post accreditation period, many teachers have got their Ph.D. and many others are doing research for the Ph.D. degree. Some teachers have done Minor

Research Projects. The number of publications in the referred journals as well as other publications has increased to a great extent.

The Career Guidance and Counselling Cell arranged many programmes to give counselling to students about career opportunities, opportunities for self-employment etc. inviting outside firms and agencies. A Women’s Cell has been set up to counsel the girl students on various matters. There is a proposal to start a fully fledged Health Centre, while some important health care facilities are at present available in the college. Remedial courses have been arranged for disadvantaged students.

189

The department of English has been organizing small programmes for development of communication skill of the students. The proposed language lab is supposed to make such efforts more effective.

The Alumni Association of the college could not rise up to the level of fulfilling the promises made earlier, and now the Association has been newly constituted to make it more functional and more interactive with the college. It also has not been possible for the college to build a multi-purpose hall for indoor games because of the paucity of fund, and also because, some other construction activities have got more priority. But the college has considered approaching the UGC for it in the near future.

To speak about the library, the number of books and the number of renowned journals subscribed by the library have been increased, keeping in view the needs of the students and the teachers. Book Bank facility has been made available to the students, while the purchase of books for the library is made on the collective recommendations of the departmental teachers. The college authority has taken steps to keep the reading room of the library open for more time.

The departments are taking initiatives for extension activities for social development and awareness for popularization of subjects. The Governing Body meets frequently to monitor the academic matters of the college. So far as resource mobilization is concerned, despite the fact that the college has limited scope for this, it is planning to utilize its existing resources, including the existing pond, in a better way.

The college has geared up to meet the challenges that have risen in the field of higher education presently. The college is looking forward to introducing many new avenues of higher education, so that the students of this locality and outside can be benefitted more. The college targets to achieve much more in the coming years.
